Chief Executive Officer's Review

Overview of Operating Performance

I am pleased to present this annual report of Tinci covering our 2013 results and to outline our prospects for 2014.

The improvement in trading reported in the first half year of 2013 continued into the second half. However, tight price competition and a thorough review of receivables restricted the final result to a small profit before tax (2012 - a small loss).

Overview of Operating Performance

The Company was successful in winning four projects in the very competitive market in 2013 with a contract value of RMB113million, compared to two projects and a total contract value of RMB66 million in 2013.

The Company's order book at the end of 2013 amounted to RMB70.1 million (2012: RMB56.2 million) and the pipeline of potential orders ended the year at a reasonable level. During 2014 the Company will continue to aim to increase sales and accelerate receivable collection so as to maintain a good cash flow, in the process laying a solid foundation for developing new projects and businesses, particularly in the speciality chemicals sector.

New Project Developments

1. Co-Operation with China Oil on Catalytic Refining Project

We have won one technology contract for catalytic refining projects valued RMB 0.8 million from Lanzhou China Oil and the project was developed in the second half of 2012 with the customer, one of China's major petrochemical companies. The progress so far under the co-operation agreement with China Oil is satisfactory.

2. Cooperation with Nan Fang Alkali

The Joint Venture with Nan Fang Alkali to develop a new project utilizing waste alkali residue as the neutralizing agent for FGD projects made good progress. More detail is given in note 13 to the Accounts. The project with Nan Fang Alkali produced revenues of RMB 4.5 million and profits fo RMB872,000 in 2013 .

3. Investment in JiangSu AnDy

In 2012, the Company invested RMB 13.64 million for a 22.5% stake in JiangSu AnDy Chemical and Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. ("JiangSu AnDy"), a private company in Jiangsu Province in China set up by Mr Kang Hongjie, its CEO and major shareholder. The funds are being used to finance the development of JiangSu AnDy. The management of JiangSu AnDy, led by Mr Kang, is well known to the Tinci Board and has been successful in developing other chemicals businesses. Tinci's Board and senior management are primarily chemical engineers and this is a sector that they are familiar with. I represent the Company on the Board of JiangSu AnDy for which I do not receive any remuneration from JiangSu AnDy.

JiangSu AnDy is involved in research & development and production and sale of chemical intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry in China.

New Project Developments (cont'd)

3. Investment in JiangSu AnDy (cont'd)

In 2013 JiangSu AnDy had revenues of RMB53 million and a profit for the year of RMB3.8 million (2012 - revenues of RMB 35 million and profit of RMB 2.3 million). More details are given in note 12 to the Accounts. During 2013 the Company lent RMB4.75 million to JiangSu AnDy.

4. Guangzhou Tiancheng Biodegradation Materials Co.,Ltd. ("GTBM")

During 2012 the decision was taken by the partners in GTBM to wind down its operations because the technology could not be proven to have the operational benefits for the production of biodegradable plastics that had been hoped. During 2012 GTBM returned RMB15 million of capital and repaid its current account of RMB7.4 million with the Company. This represents the bulk of the Company's investment in GTBM, the remainder of which will be returned once all the closure formalities have been settled.

Financial Performance

The total business income in 2013 was RMB96.4 million, which is 74% higher than in 2012. The profit after tax was RMB 0.37 million (compared to a loss of RMB 2.96 million in 2012).

Revenue increased during 2013 as the Company was able to win a number of new orders against stiff competition because of its good reputation in the FGD market. Receivables were substantially unchanged while payables decreased from RMB 91.5 million in 2012 to RMB 75.2 million in 2013. The cash position increased from RMB22.3 million in 2012 to RMB23.7 million in 2013.

Outlook

The Company expects FGD sales to again be steady in 2014 as it adjusts its business direction focusing its FGD business in China on the petrochemical sector.

The Company expects the investment in JiangSu AnDy will show a further improvement in profits in 2014.

Cash flow is expected to be satisfactory in 2014 with end of year balances ahead of 2013.

Staff and Management

I would like to thank all employees in the Company for their hard work towards the development of the Company. I am also grateful to our shareholders for their ongoing support and understanding.

   4.         TAXATION 

The Group is subject to income tax on an entity basis on profits arising in or derived from the jurisdictions in which the Group entities are domiciled and operate.

In 2011, Guangzhou Tinci was recognised as a "New High-tech Enterprise". Qualified enterprises are entitled to preferential tax benefits, including a reduced rate of enterprise income tax ("EIT") of 15% for at least 3 years. Accordingly, Guangzhou Tinci was subject to a reduced EIT rate of 15% for the fiscal years 2011 to 2013.

The Group is also subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax through the Company and its subsidiary, World International. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Company and World International had no taxable income. The statutory rate of corporate tax in Hong Kong is 16.5% (2012: 16.5%).

 
                                                     2013          2012

   5.         EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

 
                                               2013          2012

-------------------------------------  ------------  ------------ 
 

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share

The Company has one category of dilutive instrument - share options.

None of the share options of the Company in issue had a dilutive effect on the basic earnings/(loss) per share as the exercise price is above the share price quoted in the AIM market throughout the year. So they are considered as anti-dilutive and have not been included in the diluted earnings/(loss) per share calculation for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2012.
